Lick mats are the quiet extra: a dog settles in and works at the treat for a while.
What you choose
The rate sheet offers a choice of peanut butter or cheese. Pick based on what your dog likes and tolerates, and tell the staff if either causes trouble. The choice is yours each time you add one.
The price in context
At $4.99 it matches the Happy Pup Cup and sits below the Happy Pupsicle at $7.99. Four lick mats on a four-night stay would be 4 x $4.99, which is a small line on a bill that otherwise runs on the nightly rate.
When it suits
A rainy afternoon, a dog who gets restless after a walk, or a first stay where a familiar treat helps are all good times. It is also a fit for dogs who like to slow down and work at a treat rather than gulp it.
Allergies and diet
Dogs with dairy or peanut sensitivities should skip the matching flavor or the extra. Allergies go on the pet information page of the agreement, and the staff can keep a dog on its own food and skip every extra. Read about food allergies before you choose.
Where to see it
See the lick mat page, the extras list and the extras FAQ. Ask for one when you book or at drop-off, and it is added to the balance you pay at pick-up.
